Loves every aspect of games. There's just something special about years of work culminating into a single piece of media that reacts to its audience, resulting in a unique, personal experience.

Got the navigation system working for AboutNothing and slapped on a quick audio system too. A lot of the drawings are placeholder or a work in progress. Been fun to make so far!

I still always find it pretty impressive what a quick Specular/Normal/Displacement map can do to a really basic texture, the difference is night and day.

I've been playing a lot of Halo: Combat Evolved through The Master Chief Collection recently. It's interesting to see how aspects have changed, such as how the lighting accentuates certain parts of the space whereas the original utilised darkness more.

Made level design a bit easier by making a building generator. Work in progress but I like where it's going. Using the NaughtyAttributes package for the buttons

A quick WIP mockup of my sketched RPG world within AboutNothing, completely contrasting from the cartoony, 3D first-person world they transition in from. Going to change and improve it but I'm proud of it.

Got my simple dialogue system working with audio in AboutNothing. I just need to make the interaction system so it happens all in game now. Its impressive how small systems feel like they add so much to the game.

Added a bit of level theming and some general art for AcrobaticHarry's second level, Before and After. plenty more work to go before it starts looking finished

I haven't shown any gameplay so here!
Its supposed to be a goofy little project so its pretty simplistic. but its considerably trickier to play than it looks. I ironically call it my dream game because the movement system literally came from a dream I had of people spinning on bar stools like this.

Been working on a foddian style "rage game", people testing seem to have enjoyed the gameplay so its time to refine the environments a bit. All WIP, going to change more but its cool to see it progress over time.

New to Bluesky so I should probably do a bit of an art dump of some of my drawings, mainly done during work breaks!
I'm more of a programmer/designer than an artist but Im proud of how much I've developed over the years

Might as well chuck this clip on here as this is a new account, a work in progress level of my game working title "AboutNothing", tried to focus on the ambience of exploring a few different pathways before going into the mechanics of this area. Roughly made and not final

Done a quick go-over my greybox levels to add a palette to each of them. Looking extremely basic so far until the design is finalized, but the people testing seem to be enjoying playing it so far!
